Adding localversion avoids confusion in kernel images : like Linux version 2.6.30-rc7 does not tell whether it is linus or kvm kernel. By adding localversion it tells : Linux version 2.6.30-rc7-kvm , any doubt ;-) Secondly, by installing modules it overwrites on linus modules. By adding localversion : [root@hpdv5 kvm]# make modules_install INSTALL arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpu_debug.ko INSTALL arch/x86/kernel/test_nx.ko INSTALL arch/x86/kvm/kvm-amd.ko INSTALL arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko INSTALL arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko INSTALL arch/x86/oprofile/oprofile.ko INSTALL drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko INSTALL drivers/virtio/virtio.ko INSTALL drivers/virtio/virtio_balloon.ko INSTALL drivers/virtio/virtio_pci.ko INSTALL drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.ko DEPMOD 2.6.30-rc7-kvm I am inspired by Ingo's -tip, I am sure Ingo will tell more advantages, if these are not enough :-) Signed-off-by: Jaswinder Singh Rajput <jaswinderrajput@xxxxxxxxx> --- localversion-kvm | 1 + 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 localversion-kvm diff --git a/localversion-kvm b/localversion-kvm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d969ff0 --- /dev/null +++ b/localversion-kvm @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +-kvm -- 1.6.0.6 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
